Question

Simulation

A graduate research assistant "moonlights" at the short order counter in the student union snack bar in the evenings. He is
considering asking for help taking orders, but needs to convince the management that they should hire another student.
Because he is taking a simulation class, he thinks it may be the perfect way to convince management to hire more help if he
can show that customers have to wait a long time. When a customer arrives, he takes their order and their payment, prepares
the food, gives it to the customer, and then takes the order from the next person in line. If someone arrives while he's cooking
an order, they have to wait until he's completed the current order. He is working on the simulation and a portion is shown
below.
1) Complete the table and determine the average customer waiting time and the utilization of the cook.

    The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batches of stir-fry. Customers have only one choice during the lunch hour so that Y&Y can maximize the number of customers served. Assume that each customer places just one lunch order, and all lunch orders are the same size: one unit of stir-fry. The stir-fry cooking works in this manner. First, one person cooks a batch of orders in...

    Consider a simple queuing system in which customers arrive randomly such that the time between successive arrivals is exponentially distributed with a rate parameter l = 2.8 per minute. The service time, that is the time it takes to serve each customer is also Exponentially distributed with a rate parameter m = 3 per minute. Create a Matlab simulation to model the above queuing system by randomly sampling time between arrivals and service times from the Exponential Distribution. If a...

    A system has a common checkout line for customers to wait to be served by one of four servers. Every customer arrives based on an exponential distribution with mean .5 minutes and it takes Tria(1, 2, 3) minutes for checkout processing. Ignoring the time to walk from the queue to the server, what is the steady state utilization? Is the system stable?
